I'm finding it difficult to understand how each of the accused could be given these options, including information about Bill C-60, when Bill C-60 has only just been drafted and the decision on Trépanier came down on April 24. It seems to me there is a time gap there. I am very concerned about some accused going through the track on a system that has already been deemed by the appeal court to be faulty, and the appeal court is asking for changes to be made.
As I hear the discussion going on, I feel more and more strongly that we should eliminate this clause.
